Kody Brown has confirmed what Sister Wives viewers have suspected for years: he and his first wife, Meri, do not have a future together. The two haven’t spoken since her catfishing and infidelity scandal while they were living in Las Vegas. Despite Meri’s best efforts, Kody hasn’t slept with her since the affair.
Kody Is Ready To Move On Without Meri
The father of 18 revealed that he didn’t “consider” himself married to Meri for the first time in the season 17 episode aired on November 6. Kody’s words rang true, especially when the patriarch said that he wouldn’t “get into an argument” if Meri, whom fans nickname a “clout chaser,” felt the urge to move on and remarry.
What Kody Brown Thinks About His Relationship With Meri
Kody explained to the cameras that Meri’s relationship with the whole family is tense, not just with him, and this has been the case from the start. Meri told the cameras that Kody was never interested in mending their relationship. She continued to express her confusion by asking, “Does that mean we’re just not married anymore?”
Since the pair relocated to Flagstaff, Arizona, Meri has been working hard at being a supportive friend to her husband. Not long ago, he admitted that the hurt he’d felt from Christine’s breakup with Kody no longer remained. Meri’s faith that he would return to their home after this discovery had been restored.
Some viewers of Sister Wives were perplexed by Kody’s hypocrisy. Kody admitted that there was some subtle distinction between Christine and Meri and that he and his first wife had been drifting apart for a long time. However, it came as a surprise to everyone when Christine realized she would never be happy there and made the decision to leave.
Some viewers may not believe that Kody was completely caught off guard when his third wife decided to leave him. Clearly, the father of 18 is coping with the pain of rejection. It’s evident that the system works when Kody, who accused Christine of parental alienation, gives over control, as he does with Meri. Still, when the control is taken away, he has a breakdown.
It has become clear to viewers of Sister Wives that Kody’s excessive attention to Robyn’s needs was a major factor in Christine’s decision to leave. In prior seasons, Meri had similar thoughts. Still, she preferred to either suppress them or keep quiet in an effort to mend their relationship. Fans feel bad for Meri since she is vulnerable, but Kody is content to move on without her.
